When freezing fresh food, keep the thermostat
knob at medium position. Small quantities of food
up to 1/2 kg. (1 lb) can be frozen without adjusting
the temperature control knob.Take special care
not to mix already frozen food and fresh food.
Making ice cubes
Fill the ice - cube tray 3/4 full with water and place
it in the freezer. Loosen frozen trays with a spoon
handle or a similar implement; never use sharp-
edged objects such as knives or forks.
Defrosting
A) Fridge compartment
The fridge compartment defrosts automatically. The
defrost water runs to the drain tube via a collection
container at the back of the appliance (Item 5).
During defrosting, water droplets may form at the
back of the fridge compartment where a concealed
evaporator is located. Some droplets may remain on
the liner and refreeze when defrosting is completed.
Do not use pointed or sharp-edged objects such as
knives or forks to remove the droplets which have
refrozen. If, at any time, the defrost water does not
drain from the collection channel, check that no food
particles have blocked the drain tube. The drain tube
can be cleared with a pipe-cleaner or similar
implement. Check that the tube is permanently
placed with its end in the collectingtray on the
compressor to prevent the water spillingon the
electric installation oron the floor (Item 6).
